Hi people,

I'm a 16 year old (turning 17 in a few days) lad who has always struggled to gain weight. At the moment I weigh a little under 8.4 stone, and while I'm not the tallest for my age, I wouldn't describe myself as small, which makes my weight even more concerning.

For a long time now my extremely slender build has damaged my confidence but it's not until recently I've realised that I want to change this, and now I've left school and become self employed online I really feel like I can step up and give myself a new image over time.

I am considering joining the local GYM, and I have also ordered some creatine tablets and Muscle & Weight Gainer. I am planning on taking these as soon as I begin my workouts.

I would be extremely grateful if you could perhaps give me some ideas for a 1 hour workout for a beginner? I don't want to go there and spend too long on one peice of equipment when I could be spending my energy on something more useful.

Furthermore, if you could give some comments/reviews on Creatine tablets, muscle and weight gainer powder, and any other supplements which may be of use to me that would be great.

Finally, could someone please list some foods I should try and consume, basic ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? I have heard diet is one of the most important things and I don't want to waste my efforts by doing something as stupid as eating the wrong foods!

Thanks for having me on the forum, I hope I can remember this as the point in which I made a fresh start in terms of my bodyimage.

James
